"Profits above people" extend to all facets of corporate America.

 

The most egregious of them all is the healthcare industry as profitability is grossly incongruent with offering optimal, financially sane care for American citizens.

 

 

I agree, but I see it as a "corporate world view" that is not limited to America. This is a worldwide problem with big business and China is the biggest offender. Although, American corporations should be an exception to the norm. We should expect them to rise above and be better than that.

Probably someone who thinks they know better than you and can score a cheap working CPU they can fix. Once they realize they can't, they will either request a refund or commit return fraud against a retailer. While that sounds cynical, I've stopped buying open boxes due to the latter reason.

welp i wish him all the best with that 😄 ive included clear, concise statements at three different spots in the offer (title, offer type / item condition, detailed description text) that the cpu is defective and its also clearly stated that there are no refunds 😛

I have sold several dead Intel CPUs on eBay for over $100 each, LOL. And, with very clear disclosures.

[johnksss]

I have bought a dead CPU because it had the missing components needed to fix the partially broken CPU I had at the time. (7980XE)

Running some tests comparing the wife's 3080 10gb Strix vs the 9070xt in WoW. She plays at 1440p, but I tested both at 1440p and 4k. I'm thinking of cancelling the 5070 and giving her the 9070xt instead. Problem is in WoW I think the $549.99 5070 will plant itself much closer to the $729.99 9070xt than the 3080 in WoW. I'm also not sure the uplift is worth the disruption at this point.

 

This is at full Ultra 10 w/ RT at max

 

1440p:

 

Hallowfall:

---------------------------

3080    - 105fps

9070xt - 142fps

--------------------------

 

Oribos:

--------------------------

3080   -  116fps

9070xt - 150fps

--------------------------

 

4k:

 

Hallowfall:

---------------------------

3080    -  70fps

9070xt -  93fps

---------------------------

 

Oribos:

---------------------------

3080       -  66fps

9070xt     - 101fps

5080FE    - 115fps

5090        - 186fps

---------------------------

 

 

This might seem crazy but I was expecting more from 9070XT. Maybe that 3080 could be squeezed even further!

Okay, so this showed up from Elmor's Labs. 🙂

I have mine! I’m ready for FE blocks. 🫠

I wonder what prices nvidia will put for an 5080@24GB Super cards. Maybe $1199? I don't think Nvidia will do the same as they did with 4080 Super prices. $999 for 24GB cards won't happen. At best maybe $1099,99

 

Nvidia may release the RTX 5080 and 5070 Super with boosted memory configurations according to leaker

Thanks. It's a nice card but the prices is out of hands (not worth it). $2000 is already quite step for MSRP cards. Above $3000 is disgusting.

 

The cheapest shop I can see the Astral LC OC cost $3122.91 without tax right now (13 in stock). So a price increase around $120 vs before.

 

Just the start. 99% of all hardware manufacturers in Asia won't move over to US. They will rather move to other regions in Asia where they can avoid the highest tariffs. See you as damn lucky if you only get 10-15% higher prices. This before you count in the increasing infation that will start hunt you again. Cheapest is not to buy anything the next years.

The US is running out of HYTE PC cases due to tariffs: they will have to wait for production in Vietnam or Thailand.
